you know that railroad employe is

n single word concerning railroad ac-
cident? Whether you know itor not,
it is true. You see, there is n reason,
known only to railroad managers, why
accidents should not be made public. ]
have heard 1t whispered that they are
afraid to make them public because of
possible injury to the railroad business.
IL this be the reason. then think rail-
road managers should be taught that
they are sadly mistaken. Suppose a
case. Suppose two trains should COL

should tear down the bridge. complete

days. Suppose all news of tho acci-
